It’s a 3.5 stars overall. We ordered a salad and sandwich/soup combo. While tasty, I would not able to say that the food was amazing or exceptional. The outdoor patio is cool and the corridor to the restaurant makes this a quiet and calm place to eat. The food quality is good. Value for money = 3

It was cool for a first time visit. I was the only customer there at 7pm on a Saturday which was odd. Especially for this area. The food was good. I had the Bombay Burger on the pancake crust(forgot the name of it)and liked it. The cheesecake was excellent! I’ll come back soon and try something else out. Thanks for the good experience. Thanks for being vegan

It was really cute and the food was pretty good. We only went for happy hour and had some drinks and tapas. Place was quiet but the patio is super nice with shade and lots of plants. The service was wonderful and we played pool and darts inside which was fun.

Super underrated vegan restaurant with AMAZING food. I was originally going to get some food from Trilogy, right nextdoor, but happened to read the menu out front on my way there an decided to try Green Door instead. Best decision ever!
